WEATHER CREATES CONDITIONS THAT JUST DO NOT ALLOW FOR SCHEDULED PRACTICE AT GRANDVIEW

BECHTELSVILLE, PA March 24, 2017 . . . Despite all the efforts
being made to be able to get the 2017 season started with a free-to-the-public
practice session at Grandview Speedway on Saturday, Ma Nature has helped create
different plans.

“Practice is postponed for tomorrow, due to wet grounds, and the forecast
of more rain this afternoon,” said track spokesperson Tina Rogers. “We do not
want to take the chance of having drivers ruin their equipment, for a track that
cannot be prepared properly.

“We have
been monitoring the grounds, and track conditions all week. We were hoping we
could get on the track and prepare a good racing surface, however with not much
sun, and the melting snow, it has left us with unraceable conditions and
grounds.”

The practice session has been postponed until Saturday, April
1st following the same schedule for the day. Pit gates opening at 9
a.m. and practice, featuring a variety of different race cars, starting at noon.
Pit admission is $30.

And the battle for the lucrative NASCAR and track titles at the
one-third-mile, banked clay track will get the green on Saturday, April
8th when a tripleheader show featuring the T.P.Trailers 358
Modifieds, BRC Late Models and Sportsman stock cars will be presented. Spectator
gates will open at 5 p.m. with racing starting at 7 p.m. At least 12 events of
stock car racing will be presented.

Admission for the season opener will be $15 for adults with youngsters 11
and under admitted free.

On Sunday, April 9th 1 p.m. the Enduro racers and Blast from
the Past Vintage racers will perform in a doubleheader
show.

The first extra distance event of the season is set for Saturday, April
15th with a 35-lap main event for the T.P.Trailers NASCAR Modifieds
being presented. That race will pay $3500 to win. In addition, as is the norm,
the BRC Late Models and Sportsman will race.

Admission for the April 15th show will be $20 for adults, $5
for youngsters 11 to 6 with kids under 6 admitted
